Free fishing tip: Spool with the label facing, bail open the right way (step 3 of 7 from "Shore Fishing with a Spinning Rod").
Line comes off the filler spool the same direction the rotor winds — if it twists into springs, flip the filler spool. Fill to 2 mm below the rim, not a muffin top, not half empty.
